On Wednesday evening, it was a grand homecoming for 21-year-old Nandini — who was returning to her residence in Sector 78 after becoming the national champion in the 81+ kilo category in the Fifth Elite Women National Boxing Championship at Hisar, Haryana — after a gap of more than two months.
And waiting to embrace her back home was Nandini’s proud, but emotional, parents — Harish Sood and Anjali Sood. For Nandini, acing the Fifth Elite Women National Boxing Championship meant that not only had she managed to secure her first medal but she had also booked herself a ticket to the AIBA Women’s World Championship that will be held in Istanbul in December this year.
